Some St. Patrick's Day "Trivia"

By -


Today I'm over on the Blessed is She Blog sharing 10 Things You Might Not Know about Saint Patrick as well as some fun, faithful ways to celebrate his day in a more authentic way.

I had a good deal of fun researching and writing this piece. Some of the 10 facts were definitely things I didn't know before, and a few facts I thought I knew were actually not very accurate! So whether you have a million Saint Patrick's Day traditions or none, you might be just as surprised as me to learn another thing or two about the Great Saint of Ireland.

So Happy Saint Patrick's Day, friends, and no need to pinch me if I'm wearing blue and skipping the alcohol, for I've got lots of Scottish blood just like our Saint of honor. Now go and read if you're confused -- wink -- and see how good you are at your Saint Patrick's Day trivia!

I am #1in10, and I'm on a mission to spread awareness on proper treatment of endometriosis so other women, I pray, can avoid suffering for the same life-altering span (18 years) as me. Endometriosis is a likely-genetic disease where tissue similar to that of the endometrial tissue in the uterus (which either nourishes a newly-formed baby or is shed through menstruation if conception doesn't occur) grows outside of the uterus; usually in the abdominal cavity, often on other organs within the abdomen, and sometimes rare locations such as the lungs, throat, or even in the brain. This displaced endometriosis tissue responds to hormone fluctuations as well as produces its own estrogen , and causes widespread and progressive acute pain, fatigue, and infertility among many other symptoms.   This is not a small problem. Approximately 10% of women worldwide endure endometriosis (akin to the number of women with diabetes), yet for the majority of women suffering from endometri

I'm publishing a blog post--a Christmas Miracle! It likely won't happen for another year, but I might never forgive my bibliophile self (and you might not either) for skipping this year's official record of my reads, so here it is!.   I thought my list was relatively short this year, but discovered the opposite after going through my my titles: the standard WWII collection, fiction and non, audiobooks, kids stuff, spiritual reads --the whole enchilada-- with my totally subjective ratings, content analysis, and the briefest of reviews (wink) I could manage for each.  Fiction // Historical Fiction // Based on True Story  The Women in the Castle - 3.5 Stars New concept WWII book about a trio of German women whose husbands perish in a failed plot against Hitler, exploring how their lives play out. Phenomenal writing style - I literally stopped a few different times to marvel at a sentence or phrase simply for its beauty and creativity. Initially I didn
